Our Membership
Christians who desire to make Wycliffe Church their spiritual home are encouraged to become members. The basis of membership is a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and agreement with the Savoy Declaration of Faith. No member is received simply on the basis of a transfer from another Church. Members are expected to be loyal to the Church and to its doctrinal position; to be as regular in attendance at the gatherings of the Church and involved positively in its testimony as their personal circumstances allow; to pray for one another and to act in love towards one another; to submit to the discipline of the Church.Those who desire Church membership are interviewed by two of the elders and if suitable their application for membership is then approved at a Church meeting. Formal reception into membership normally takes place at a Communion Service. It is emphasised that Christians who, for one reason or another, do not become Church members are by no mans excluded from the Church’s fellowship or its pastoral care. Nevertheless, we believe that the commitment to the local Church which Church membership involves is something that every Christian should consider seriously.
